  He said he wrote this one 2 years ago when he was really sick and just mad at life for all the shit it had dealt him. This was his outlet.

  He wrote on his community YouTube page earlier today, <br><br>&quot;I expected a split reception on masochist, I&apos;m glad I got it <br> <br>I wrote the song on a day in 2021 I felt particularly bitter about living in a sick body for most my life, about anger at the greed in the music industry. Killing everything you know, even your support systems is also about rebirth, some people will have caught the Samsara line and see a man cursing the gods for the hands hes been dealt, others will see it as a track thats just being vulgar and dark for the sake of it. It&apos;s all of those things.&quot;

  On Twitch, Ren said when he wrote Masochist he&apos;d just come out of a &quot;f&apos;kn sh!t situation with the last people I was working with in the music business, so I was angry at everything and I thought I&apos;d write that song (Masochist) and it made me feel better. Obviously it&apos;s not literal, I thought that maybe some people who were more religiously inclined might get upset about it but it&apos;s all sort of metaphors and it&apos;s all like my own journey and my own wrestling with spirituality when your body&apos;s been hurting for so many years, so that&apos;s where it comes from. It&apos;s not like being offensive to be offensive, it comes from a place of doubting your purpose if your in pain all the time. So that verse comes from there, cause I know some people will probably take it literally, as a face value: &apos;kill your mother, kill your father&apos;; all that sort of stuff - it&apos;s just kind of cursing existing basically cursing the sheer act of beling alive, so in case anyone was wondering, that&apos;s why.&quot;

  I&apos;m glad to see someone else that bursts out laughing at the, &quot;Nah-nah-nah-nah, mate. That&apos;s not him.&quot; I love that bit. It&apos;s like he breaks and calls himself out on the song - a song that is very aggressive in a way we don&apos;t generally hear from Ren. He can come at you, but generally is still good hearted when doing so (unless you are the establishment of course). But this was just aggressive, and I love it. Everybody has to vent from time to time....

  Ed Gein used to make furniture out of bodies. Texas chain saw massacre is inspired by him

  It&apos;s so refreshing to hear a knowledgeable, rational mind react to pieces like this. Hearing it for what it is. Thank you!

  I discovered ren when hi ren had abuot 500000 clicks after barely two months since then I have been deeply immersed in his universe that is now repeatedly referred to by the reactor scene as Alice in Wonderland&apos;s rabbit hole. <br>As a German with 68 years I learn thanks to Ren since then an incredible amount of facts about hip hop, rap, alternative pop and everything that is influenced and expressed around it. <br>Listening to you and diving into the deeper aspects and connections around Ren&apos;s musical and literary multiverse, to which you so profoundly dedicate your reviews, is an absolute pleasure for me and I really enjoy your contributions which you know how to convey with great sympathy and wisdom. Thank you very much.

  When you are a good person and get dealt a shitty hand straight out of hell, obviously you will lash out at some point.<br>American Psycho (w)rapped up around a fire beat and tied in a bow of intricate lyrics 🔥🔥🔥<br>Absolutely cathartic, raw, honest and pure

  Awesome reaction. You’re one of the only reactors to get the whole point of this song. Which most people have missed too. First time I heard I wasn’t sure but when I really listened to can understand the metaphor and what he’s actually saying.<br>Thank you, enjoyed that one.
